Tales from the Asylum True tales of horror & hauntings... excerpts; 'Patients said they could not sleep at night because of the screaming of the dead, but because the patients had already been classified as insane, no-one took any notice of them.' 'The family of the owner stayed at the Asylum for just one night, after their young daughter was found the next morning with her face ripped open by something unknown.' 'In the dust was the word, "Help," written backwards.' 'They'd captured the sound of a young girl and she was saying, "Do you want to play with me?" 'The demonic looking creature in the patient's drawing had come to life. It followed the Doctor everywhere now, followed afterward by the most deafening of noises that felt as though his ears were about to explode. The strange thing was, no-one else could hear it.' The Harvard Crimson wrote of their visit to the now famous morgue, 'Face mutilated, gashed faces, awful contortions, hideous leer, gaping mouths now fixed forever in rigid agony, hands outstretched whispering, "Come to me, Come to me!" and we hear and shudder and come." Two mysterious trunks arrived. When they were opened they were found to contain two separate parts of an unidentified woman. She had been chopped in half and her top half placed in one of the trunks and her bottom half in the other. 'Doctors used instruments that looked strangely similar to ice picks.' 'They were tied to their beds almost permanently, barely able to move a limb.' 'The sharp sense that there's a third party in the room is overpowering. The air is suddenly foul and i feel an intense awareness that i'm not welcome here.' 'The images appeared to show a man in the window holding a cross.' 'I have struggled to accept the things i saw there those nights, but whatever is there, it's not human.' Haunted Asylums, Morgues & Cemeteries.
